BDC operator on the run after allegedly stealing $737,000

Police spokespersons in both Kano and Lagos have confirmed that a manhunt is underway for the suspect in connection with the theft.

The victim, identified as the Chief Executive Officer of Allkraft Technology and Industries Limited, had contacted Mannir for the purchase of $900,000.

Mr Das transferred the naira equivalent from his company’s Zenith Bank account to the BDC operator in December 2023.

Kano State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abdullahi Haruna, stated that investigations are ongoing, with efforts expanded to track down the suspect in Lagos.

The General Manager of Allkraft Technology and Industries Limited, Abdulrahman Abubakar, provided further details, mentioning a scheduled meeting that never occurred, leading to suspicion and subsequent reporting of the case to the police.
